NSK Challenge;Marching Forever Forward!!!

Happybeingme

Budget set as:

Food = £220 ~ I think my budget of £260 in February was too high as I still have lots of food in, so I'm going to lower it to £240 and then deduct the £20.

SFDs 25

Spending = £50 ~ I only have a haircut booked for March (going away later in the month but taking money already saved with me) ~ but will add some extra money to cover birthdays and any unexpected events.

No beauty purchases needed.

I should be able to make £100 through overtime (I hope!)

No petrol budget cos I don't drive.

See you tomorrow!

Hi everyone, well budgets all done and put into sig. Made a load of meals for the freezer yesterday, so with the ones I have left over from this month, all the fish in the freezer and the meals from yesterday I should have one for everyday of March:rotfl::rotfl:Dont always eat them but then they get carried over to the next month.

Had day off today and been busy knitting a baby cardigan for DGC soon to be born and on Sat going baby shopping for a few bits with DD3 but thats budgeted for.

Anyway off now, got DGD here and Ive been instructed to do her reading with her before her mom comes for her, so we had better get at it:)

Marching Forever Forward is the challenge we face,
Busting debts, learning rules so the changes take place.
Where we spend no more, than what we really do need
Taking some time, being strong, saying no to greed.

We will work together, pulling together as one
For when the times comes we will need to be strong,
Temptation is there, round a corner so close
Be careful, be wise and so banish those woes….

You will win, succeed and learn a new trick..
That you are the boss, those bad habits you’ll kick
Now get it together and hold our head high..
Its time to save money and reach for the sky…..

Let The Games Being and May The Odds Be Ever in Your Favour!!!
